A-W Custom Plating, 9 mile rd in Eastpoint great work, reasonable price, average 5 month wait for part return.
Fini Finish, Mound rd in Warren, beautiful work, expensive, 3-4 month wait.
I have most of my work done at A-W, never disappointed. My rich friends go to Fini.

I will be in the same situation with my 1971 Demon. I will PROBABLY go with AMD. I do not need show chrome AND cost will be a factor. But I still will get an estimate from the recommended platers for my current bumpers.
Keep old mopars alive.

I need to replace the rear bumper on my Duster eventually, and I will most likely just use a AMD bumper too. My car is not a show poodle.. it's a street/strip car.

Whomever you choose to go with, ask if they base copper coat and buff. That will tell you a lot about their quality of work.
Just like painting, the real time and cost is in the prep work.

Just like painting, the real time and cost is in the prep work. Most places do not use copper anymore. Usually double nickel & chrome. Lots of motorcycle chrome platers have small tanks - got to find places with big enough tanks to do bumpers. Librandi's in Middletown, PA. is also a very good plater.

Why the hell should it take 3 MONTHS to do one bumper? Because they have other work?
